Babi Yar Massacre Concludes with Thousands Killed

September 30th, 1941 83 years ago

In late September 1941, the Babi Yar massacre reached its devastating conclusion as the Nazi regime executed thousands of Jews, Roma, and others in a ravine near Kyiv, Ukraine. Over the course of two days, perpetrators rounded up victims under the guise of resettlement, forcing them to undress before shooting them en masse. The massacre represents one of the most significant atrocities committed during the Holocaust, highlighting the systemic approach to genocide undertaken by Nazi forces.
